Chapter 663 - Defeating The Monsters (1/2)

”Not good.”

With the shield shattered into pieces, there was nothing to stand between them and the monsters anymore.

Agata and Theo had the same reaction when it snapped. They raised several pillars at random locations to confuse the monsters.

The pillars reached the ceiling to make it look like a wall.

Unexpectedly, the monsters didn't seem to fall for the same trick anymore. After learning Agata's smoke disappeared together with the shield, the monsters didn't hesitate and rammed their heads against the wall.

Theo's pillars instantly disappeared as he didn't train his Awareness for this. Agata's pillars managed to hold for a second before snapping into two.

Seeing the situation become chaotic, Theo took a deep breath and gathered all his killing intent into one single point before releasing it toward the monster at the very front.

”!!!” The monster stopped for two seconds.

Theo took that chance to hit the monster with his spear and crack the skin. After that, he sent several Magic Bullets and killed the monster from the inside.

Two monsters managed to break Agata's walls and ambushed him, but Ava reached him on time and turned back to her battle form after becoming small to sneak around.

She struck the monster's belly and electrocuted the organs before blowing the body to the other attacker.

With the force Ava's generated, the other monster tripped and crashed to the wall, struggling to get away from the corpse.

Theo didn't have enough time to thank Ava because three more monsters pounced on him. Ava even had two before her.

Suddenly, a huge block emerged from the floor and another one came out from the ceiling. The bottom one lifted the monster up and the top block stopped them from moving.

This pair of blocks seemed to appear around them, trapping all the monsters.

Without even looking at her, Theo knew Agata was the one summoning them.

This was her technique where she incorporated the environment to her advantage like Theo's advice. In this case, she used the strong stone floor to gain enough support for her own stone block to lift the monster up and used the ceiling to lock them.

Seeing the chance appear before him, Theo smiled and struck the monster on the head, piercing through it and destroying the brain.

After that, he moved to another monster and killed it without a problem.

Ava also did the same, knowing she couldn't let the monster alive and send it to Theo since they were trapped inside here and surrounded by monsters. One wrong move would lead them to death, so she chose to kill them herself.

Little did she know, her action actually allowed Theo and Agata to bring a precious sample back to the city later since the monsters she killed wouldn't become a card if they touched them.

Still, Ava somehow decided to split her focus as she kept glancing at the darkness. She seemed curious about the monster who dared to hit them from afar.

The answer soon came in the form of action. The fire-like aura that covered the monster earlier reappeared. This time, the monster was closer to them, so they could finally see its appearance.

Unlike other monsters, this one didn't have transparent skin. Instead, it had a solid and hard red skin. The monster looked like a lizard crawling on the floor.
